“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
— Psalm 119:105
The 4th & 5th Grade program is offered on Mondays at either 4:30 – 5:45 or 6:45 – 8:00 pm OR on Tuesday at 4:30 – 5:45 from October 4, 2010 – April 18, 2011. The Religious Education Registration Packet is available here; please print out and read the entire document.
Through the guidance and help of the catechists, administrative help, and the staff here at St. Anastasia, our aim is to bring Christ alive in the hearts of 4th and 5th graders and encourage the students and their parents to meet Him in the sacraments and to share our rich Catholic faith with them. We hope to help them develop a better understanding of the virtues and compassion toward others, understanding of the sacraments and Mass, and Church history. I welcome hearing from you!

Catechists:
If you’re interested in being a Catechist for the 4th or 5th grades, please notify Chris Broses at 248-689-8380 Extension 103. You will receive detailed lesson plans for each session. You will also receive a “bucket” with additional materials such as markers, crayons, scissors, glue sticks, attendance records, etc. If you are able, we ask that you purchase a Bible for $20 so that you are using the same text as the students.
All Catechists must attend a Protecting God’s Children Workshop. Please register at www.virtus.org
Bible:
Students coming in to 4th grade receive a Bible. If a student is new to St. Anastasia in the 5th grade, they would receive a Bible at that time. The Bible that we will be using is an NRSV Catholic Youth Bible.
Service Project Journals:
Students coming into the 4th grade (or those in 5th grade that were not here last year) will receive a Service Project Journal. These journals have a label on the front of the spiral notebook explaining the recommended information to document. The real purpose is to help the student see the Christian Service that they have done over time.
Text Books:
We are currently using the LOYOLA PRESS, Parish Edition of the Finding God, Our Response to God’s Gifts series. Please check it out!
Children’s Choir:
Led by Dr. Christine Chun and offered at no cost to the serious 3rd-6th Grade Students. This is a great opportunity to learn first hand from a doctor! For more information regarding registration please contact the Religious Education Office.
